Mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 is a promoter of mitochondrial fusion.1 It induces elongation of mitochondria in mitofusin-1 knockout (Mfn1-/-) or Mfn2-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs; EC50s = 5.3 and 4.42 µM, respectively) and protects against MPP+-induced mitochondrial fragmentation and cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells when used at a concentration of 5 µM. M1 (1 µM) reduces apoptosis and inhibits decreases in testosterone levels induced by the organophosphate triphenyl phosphate in TM3 mouse Leydig cells.2 In vivo, mitochondrial fusion promoter M1 (2 mg/kg) improves novel object recognition deficits induced by the antitumor antibiotic doxorubicin (Item No. 15007) in rats.3
